Exactly Lecia. Anything to stay off my but I guess and heal faster.
I saw a new CRS for the botox as the other two CRS' I see do not approve of botox. The "regulars" are older and more experienced in the practice, while the new CRS was much younger. The younger CRS insisted on a colonoscopy before the botox. Sensing his "inexperience," I decided that if I needed a colonoscopy I was going to have one of the more experienced CRS do it. So I saw the more experienced CRS, and he told me a colonscopy would be nothing but torture, given my current condition (reopened 3 weeks ago and I'm still getting blood with a BM). After I described my situation to a tee, he said it's time for LIS.
When I asked him about the botox, he felt that it doesn't provide the results often claimed, and at best it is temporary. He further said, given the minor nature of the LIR surgery and it's propensity for a complete healing, he doesn't administer botox. Additionally, he said it is often a mistake by some CRS to assume that a Fissurectomy is not needed, and by putting me under for the LIS, he can get a long, good look in there for any other problems and decide if a Fissurectomy would be needed for complete healing. I left the office convinced he was 100% right.
Personally, I want this to be over and LIS seems like the best step. I also read that if you need a fissurectomy as well as LIS, you tend to heal faster, but admittedly I haven't found alot of info on LIS and fissurectomy.
